-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-3297 2013-03-02 19:18:26 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : sudo Product : Fedora 18 Version : 1.8.6p7 Release : 1.fc18 URL : http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/ Summary : Allows restricted root access for specified users Description : Sudo (superuser do) allows a system administrator to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root while logging all commands and arguments. Sudo operates on a per-command basis. It is not a replacement for the shell. Features include: the ability to restrict what commands a user may run on a per-host basis, copious logging of each command (providing a clear audit trail of who did what), a configurable timeout of the sudo command, and the ability to use the same configuration file (sudoers) on many different machines. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: - update to 1.8.6p7 - fixes CVE-2013-1775 and CVE-2013-1776 - fixed several packaging issues (thanks to ville.skytta@iki.fi) - build with system zlib. - let rpmbuild strip libexecdir/*.so. - own the %%{_docdir}/sudo-* dir. - fix some rpmlint warnings (spaces vs tabs, unescaped macros). - fix bogus %%changelog dates. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Thu Feb 28 2013 Daniel Kopecek <dkopecek@redhat.com> - 1.8.6p7-1 - update to 1.8.6p7 - fixes CVE-2013-1775 and CVE-2013-1776 - fixed several packaging issues (thanks to ville.skytta@iki.fi) - build with system zlib. - let rpmbuild strip libexecdir/*.so. - own the %{_docdir}/sudo-* dir. - fix some rpmlint warnings (spaces vs tabs, unescaped macros). - fix bogus %changelog dates. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #916363 - CVE-2013-1775 sudo: authentication bypass via reset system clock https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=916363 [ 2 ] Bug #916365 - CVE-2013-1776 sudo: bypass of tty_tickets constraints https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=916365 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
